Re: Question on CVE-2017-5754 on Debian 8.9

[Michael Fothergill <michael.fothergill@gmail.com>]

I have the same problem as in Gentoo.

In order to install gcc 7.3 rc2 I think I would need to be sid.

I don't think I want to be sid at present.

​But if I did want to be sid, would a source file like this suffice:

​

deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free
deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free

​or do I need more?

​If I become sid then I think I would just install the gcc version above the one I have and  then reinstall

the 4.15.0 kernel and maybe I would have the full kernel patch.............

Comments appreciated,

 

Cheers

MF

Michael
